So much talent, actors and writers, but what a farce. They probably had to first come up with a list of plotholes to then write a story around it. I can't imagine running into so many problems when writing the story first... Every possible cliche is present. Should get stars only for that achievement.
- Empty phone battery
- Sudden and irrational change of mind at crucial point in story
- Calling each other and the others ignoring the call
- When they eventually answer the phone, talk about anything other than the thing they WANTED to get across
- Endless trivial discussions to actively ignore the topic you had to get off your chest. Next time, talk about the weather, at least *something* interesting to listen to.
- Ending up at the other side of the world for no apparent reason
- Convenient van to run over the one character that can make a difference.
This show pulled me in within the first 15 minutes. The storyline is a complicated, frustrating mess from the off. It is a reminder how anyone can find themselves in a predicament which leads them to do silly things that they would never have thought possible. The first episode is the best for comic value but the episodes get a little darker as they go along and the last is the most frustrating but not in a bad way. It is just like the characters. All likeable, but annoying because of the things they do. This is definitely set up for a sequel and I will be tuning in. Very smart script and so very watchable.
A prisoner on death row works with a British journalist, the ultimate mission is to discover a missing teacher.
This is a hugely original, imaginative drama, it serves to ask the question, what lengths with a normal, everyday, caring person go to to protect someone that they loved.
If you're a fan of writer Stephen Moffat, as I am, you'll know he's capable of writing some incredible stuff, Sherlock and Doctor Who, you'll also know he's capable of writing some trash ......Sherlock and Doctor Who for example. This is a mix of both, some elements are amazing, some are quite poor.
If you're prepared to accept that reality is abandoned early on in episode one, you may just enjoy this, Part four is insane, it's wild and over the top, I loved it.
David Tennant is awesome (when isn't he,) Stanley Tucci was just phenomenal. The acting was perhaps the best thing about it, the two were captivating, but everyone played their part.
It's full of holes, so many times you'll be scratching your head, wondering what's going on. How thick were those walls??
7/10.

This show is riddled with plot holes, it is inconsistent in tone, and baffling at times, but it's still a fun ride if you sit back and suspend disbelief and avoid analyzing it too deeply. If you struggle with unbelievable storylines or character decisions, this won't be for you. However, the actors performances hold up and you'll be wanting to see what happens next. It's a mix of older BBC murder mystery series, Sherlock, and a bunch of weird writing decisions in between. It's not a show you'll want to go out of your way for, but if you want a short series that's relatively mindless and entertaining, this will do the trick.
OK Yep - its imlausable - but how many plausible pieces of fiction are there?
This is an British TV programme by The BBC. Its basically half set in The USA but intertwines with a UK based situation. Quite unique in my view.
I think its really well written - great storyline and really good characters.
At first, when I saw Stanley Tucci - a resident of my home town London (and I see him sometimes around the neighbourhood) - was in this production I was not at all convinced of his suitability - but he is absolutely perfect in this role.
Its a really well produced series worthy of a lot more than the ratings on here. I dont know why the ratings are so low - with the storyline, acting and intertwining production, I think this is just great.
But dont take it all too serriously!
You must watch it until AFTER The Credits on the last episode.
